112. They don't bigfoot the governments of states, either.

It has nothing to do with "nonchalant." It has to do with rule of law.

Let the governor of the state fix his own damn mess. Let his attorney general take appropriate measures.

Here's how it works--if the local government can't do it, they look to the state.

If the state can't manage their own problems, that's when they work with the federal government to get additional help--but not before.

There's a pecking order, there.

The fact that anyone would suggest that Obama "send in the clowns" as the solution of First Resort is extremely troubling to me, and should be to anyone who understands the way this nation operates.

And good Presidents don't play the "Every little sparrow" game--MO has a governor, it's for HIM to show leadership, not for the POTUS to usurp his authority. You do know that governors can call out their state National Guards, if needs must? They are the first-line commanders of their own state militias--not the POTUS. They have state police at their beck and call, too.

No need to put carts before horses.
